Good reasons to go boating in this time of crisis
- Since we all going to be locked down for the foreseeable future, why not go boating.
- Social distancing – you can’t find much better social distance then out in the middle of the water.
- Catching dinner means less time and grocery store checkout lines – With grocery store checkout lines growing larger by the minute anything we can do to minimize the need to stand in them is a welcome source of relief. And if this thing goes on too long we can add fishing to our survival skills.
- Ultraviolet germ therapy – there is no clear, or even ambiguous, evidence ultraviolet light can kill the coronavirus, however it sure feels good to be in the sunshine.
- Time in nature is good for cabin fever – oftentimes parents are to be avoided at all costs however at a time like this they may just be desperate enough to be seen in public in your presence and treasured times together could become the lasting legacy of this crisis.
- Honing pirating skills – with “talk like a pirate” day coming up at the end of the summer for this year, we all need to make sure our pirating skills are up to snuff.
- With everybody home from work, why NOT go boating – Since your time is not eaten up with offices, jobsites, stores, warehouses, or, especially, commutes, you’ve got tons of time available to be on the water.
- With the world gone crazy, the news and advertisements speaking of things unprecedented and challenging times, out in nature is the best place to re-center yourself and find your sanity.
